User manual MARSHALL EFFECT PEDAL ED1 COMPRESSOR

[. . . ] For over 40 years the Marshall name has been synonymous with the greatest guitar tones in music. We have worked hand in hand with guitarists from all levels throughout the world to maintain and improve that special ingredient, `The Marshall Sound. ' Our range of effects pedals gives the opportunity to augment the classic Marshall tone to add Marshall character to a guitar set-up. All our pedals are made with the same utmost attention to quality, in both materials and manufacture as our world renowned amplifiers, cabinets and combos, in order to provide you with optimum reliability and tone. WARNING Do not expose the apparatus to rain or moisture. [. . . ] Here follows a complete run down of The Compressor's features for your information. We have also enclosed a number of suggested settings to help guide you. It should be remembered though that these are only suggested settings and you should really take the time to experiment. Though the Marshall Compressor can produce traditional type effects it is also ideally suited to the player who wants something a little bit different. So take the time to explore the sonic avenues opened to you by the Compressor, you won't be disappointed. Setting Up Always use good quality shielded leads. Always use 9V regulated DC supply with centre negative. Although it may seem obvious the first action in achieving a good effected sound (be it duration / compression etc. ) is to find the perfect bypassed sound. This will then allow the correct level to be set with the effect unit to allow a cut or boost in volume and a realistic tone. On clean channels it is advisable to set the gain (or volume) to a setting of no less than one quarter maximum so as not to get unrealistic results due to any volume dependent tonal shaping on the amplifier preamp. As is inherent in circuits of this type the increase in gain at low signal levels inevitably leads to unwanted extra noise as the circuit gain is maximum when the signal level is minimum. Many players overcome their problem with discerning use of a swell pedal or simply utilising the bypass footswitch during performance. Features This is the output of The Compressor and is for connection to the amplifier or to another effects pedal. 2 3 ENGLISH 1. Emphasis The Compressor allows you to specify which end of the aural spectrum you wish to compress. Select "Hi" if you would like to emphasise the treble in your tone to get that real twang and to compress the bass. This is useful for tight funky low note riffs with stabbing bright chords. Turning toward `Lo' gives maximum treble compression and hence a `Lo' emphasis. Trouble Shooting CHECK PEDAL CONTROLS CHECK GUITAR 3. Volume Controls the volume of the pedal, allowing you to set the pedal for a boost or a drop in volume when in operation, should you so wish.
